("Electric Light - Thomas A. Edison Construction Department -
Stations - Pennsylvania - Hazleton" through "Telephone")
1884. Electric Light - Thomas A. Edison Construction Department - Stations -
Pennsylvania - Hazleton (D-84-055)
This folder contains correspondence and other documents relating to the
organization, management, and operation of a central station at Hazleton, which
opened on February 11, 1884. Much of the correspondence is by Edison employees
William S. Andrews and Thomas Spencer; and by N. C. Yost, secretary and
treasurer of the Hazleton company. Some of the documents by Andrews and
Spencer are partially illegible due to water damage.
Approximately 90 percent of the documents have been filmed. The following
categories of documents have not been filmed: routine correspondence regarding
orders and employee expenses.

DIRECT WIRES.
Mr. Insull,
Merely as a word of general precaution, let me urge
upon you the importance of having the Hazelton plant work all
right. The Hazelton people propose to invest a good deal of
money in our business, as permanent investment, and are watching
their own plant at Hazelton in order to satisfy themselves of the
safety of the business, from a financial standpoint. Let us make
a special effort to have the plant run all right.
S. B. Eaton
Keb. 20th. 1884. Par Mc.G.
Mr. Insull,
My informant was Hr. George Markle. He gave me in
detail, and I took it down in writing the number of times the
plant stopped. Twice it was on account of poor fuel. They are
now using the best and most expensive kind of anthracite coal.
Regarding information, I had assumed that your men kept
you pasted. But if you show me all the information you get, cer¬
tainly I cannot complain. I will try to be more charitable in
future.
Feb. 21st. 1884.
■ S. B. Eaton

Dear sir:-
I have your favor of August Sth. for which I am much
obliged. Prom oL1 reports I have heard I rather gather that the
trouble with the running of the plant is more owing to the in¬
capacity of the engineer than,to defects in construction. I am
told that the engineer in charge is by no means capable and that
he does not understand his business. Do you know anything about
this matter? If so, I shall be glad if you will post me.
Very truly yours,

Dear Sirj-
I have your favor of the 15th. inat., which I would
have an swyu 1 ?? earlier but Tor my absence rrom New York.
He have about 21, 000 horse power of the Babcock & Hilcox
boilers now in operation in connection with our business, and
never knew of water coming over into the cylinder, unless from
the ignorance of the engineer, oil, or some other cause, which can
easily be rectified. He worked thie boilers under every possible
condition and have tried every possible experiment with them, and I
cannot understand at all why you people should have so much trou¬
ble.
Very truly yours.

1884. Electric Light - Thomas A. Edison Construction Department - Stations -
Pennsylvania - Mt. Carmel (D-84-056)
This folder contains correspondence, reports, and other documents relating to
the construction and operation of the Mt. Carmel central station, which opened on
January 22, 1884. Much of the correspondence is by Edison employees William S.
Andrews and H. Ward Leonard; and by William Schwenk, president of the Edison
Electric Illuminating Company of Mt. Carmel. Many of the documents by Andrews
and Leonard are partially illegible due to water damage.
All the documents have been filmed.

April 84th, 1884.
William Schwenk Esq. Pres’t.
Edison Electric Ell. Co. Mt. Carmel, Penna.
Dear Sir;-
By referring to our estimate for the installation of the
Mt. Carmel Plant, you will find that under the head of "Testing
and regulation-; Switches and Indicators", we have included two
eqyi&lizers for feeders, the amount charged for the same being
S172.50. Owing to the fqfct that where one reader alone is used,
two feeder equalizers become unnecessary, and we have determined to
cut -this out of the estimate, and give you a credit on the contract
of $172.50.
Yours truly,
Thomas A. Edison Const. Dept.

1884. Electric Light - Thomas A. Edison Construction Department - Stations -
Pennsylvania - Shamokin (D-84-057)
This folder contains correspondence, cost estimates, reports, and other
documents relating to the organization, management, and operation of the
Shomokin central station, which opened on September 22, 1883. Much of the
correspondence is by Edison employees William S. Andrews and H. M. Doubleday;
and by officials of the Shamokin company, including William H. Douty, president,
John Mullen, treasurer, and William M. Brock, station manager. Some of the

1884. Electric Light - Thomas A. Edison Construction Department - Stations -
Pennsylvania - Sunbury (D-84-058)
This folder contains correspondence relating to the organization,
management, and operation of the central station at Sunbury. The Sunbury station
began operation on July 4, 1883 as the first commercially installed three-wire
system. Much of the correspondence is by Edison employees William S. Andrews
and H. M. Doubleday; and by officers of the Edison Electric Illuminating Company
of Sunbury, including Frank H. McCormick, president, and Frank S. Marr, secretary
and treasurer. Some of the letters by Andrews, Doubleday, and McCormick are
partially illegible due to water damage.
All the documents have been filmed.

DEAR SIR, , RETURN YOU TO DAY THE MAP OF APPLETON,WITH THE PRESENT
LINES OF WIRE MARKED WITH YELLOW PENCIL,I ALSO ENCLOSE A STATEMENT OF
THE NUMBER OF POLES WE HAVE,THE LENGTHS AND NUMBER OF WIRES IN USE,AND
THE WEIGHT AND NUMBERS OF WIRES ON HAND. I WOULD SAY HERE THAT THE
WAVER,.Y HOUSE WIRE,6,00 FEET IN LENGTH IS NOT TW,STEP,EXCEPT PERHAPS
ONCE IN 25 OR 80 FEET,TO KEEP IT FROM SAGGING. AS FAR AS WE ARE ABLE
TO JUDGE GENERALLY FROM YOUR LINES,THEY SEEM TO COVER THE GROUNDS VERY
WELL. I WOULD SUGGEST,THOUGH I AM NOT COMPETENT TO DECIDE THE QUESTION
THAT ONE LINE RUN ACCROSG THE R. R. BRIDGE,WITH BRANCHES FOR THE PAPER
PULP MILLS,ATLAS PAPER MILL * KIMBERLY A CLARK PAPER MILLS,AS WELL AS
WATER STREET,PROSPECT STREET,SECOND STREET A CHERRY STREET,THEN A LIME
ACCROOS THE SECOND WARD BRIDGE FOR THE CENTRE OF THE TOWN AMD MILLS’ON
THE ROUTE WOULD BE MORE ECONOMICAL THAN THE PLAN YOU

THOS. A. EDISON ESQ. 65,5TH.AVE. N. Y.
DEAR SIR, IT UNDOUBTEDL^WILL BE BEYOND OUR MEANS TO PUT IN THE
CENTRAL 8Y8TEM HERE. WE HAVE ALREADY PAID TWO PRICE8 FOR V/HAT WE HAVE
HERE AND IT SEEMS THAT IN MY LAST INTERVIEW IN N. Y. WITH YOUR MR.
TATE,THAT OUR WIRES AND DYNAM08 ARE TO BE OF NO USE WHATEVER IN THE NEW
SYSTEM,ALTHOUGH WE WERE PROMISED BY THE CHICAGO OFFICE THAT BOTH OF TH
THESE WOULD WORK IN THE NEW SYSTEM,AT SIMPLY COST TO US. I GATHERED
FROM MY CONVERSATION IN YOUR OFFICE,THAT IN THIS NEW SYSTEM VIE WILL
C^-' VUrVTr
PRACTICALLY HAVE TO COMMENCE 4ClLU3tO AND THROW AY/AY SOME $ 12000. OR
S 13000. ALREADY EXPENDED. V/HAT VIE ARE DOING NOW PAYS US V/ELL ENOUGH,
ALTHOUGH IT IS A DISAPPOINTMENT TO A GREAT MaNY,Y/E WILL HAVE TO KEEP UP
OUR TWO PLANTS AS THEY ARE. I Y/ISH HOV/EVER TO MAKE A PROPOSITION OR
rather ask some information on tv/o or three points relating to increas¬
ing THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR 8TATI ON NO. 2,BEING THE ONE AT THE END OF THE
BRIDGE ON THE MAP - THE EA8T ONE - I WKH- HOPE I 8HALL BE ABLE TO MAKE
MYSELF CLEAR AND I THINK WITH THE MAP BEFORE YOU IT WILL BE P038IBLE FOR
YOU TO GATHER SOME IDEAS OF WHAT I WANT TO ASK. SEVERAL NEW DV/ELLING8
HAVE GONE UP IN THE TERR I TOR ITY COVERED BY THIS SAID DYNAMO NO. 2 - THEY
HAVE BEEN PROMISED THE LIGHT AND THE HOUSES ARE WIRED AND THE CHANDE¬
LIERS AND FIXTURES BOUGHT. THERE ARE THREE MORE AT LEAST,THAT WILL TAKE
THE LIGHT, IF VIE WILL FURNISH IT TO THEM, THE REVENUE WILL BE ABOUT
S 300. PER ANNUM,ADD(TIONAL TO Y/HaT VIE HAVE NOW. MY HOUSE ,H. D. SMITH S
HOUSE AND MR. V/OOD 8 ARE THE THREE DY/ELLINGS AT PRESENT LIGHTED BY THIS
DYNAMO. THE IDEA
DYNAMO - THE MAP SHOWS THE DISTANCE THEY ARE FROM THE
THAT I HAVE 18,TO RUN LARGE WIRES TO THE TOP OF THE BLUFF ON JOHN ST. AN
AND FROM THERE BRANCH TO THE DIFFERENT HOUSE8. CAN WE DO THIR ? I BE¬
LIEVE IN THE OFFICE IT IS KNOWN V/HERE MY HOUSE IS WHICH IS MARKED WITH
54 LAMPS AND IS SITUATED ON THE BLUFF NORTH FROM THE DYNAMO RIGHT ON THE
LINE OF THE BRIDGE. MR. H. D. SMITH 8 HOUSE IS ON JOHN ST. MARKED WITH
50 LAMPS AND MR. WOOD 8 RIGHT EAST OF THAT,PROBABLY MARKED WITH THE NO.
OF LAMPS USED. TV/O OF THE HOUSEa THAT I WANT TO LIGHT,ARE SITUATED IN
THE SAME BLOCK WITH MINEjONE dIrECTLY WEST AND ONE NORTH,A NEW DWELLING
JUST ERECTED,WHI CH MAY NOT BE DOWN ON THE MAP. ANOTHER ONE THAT I V/ANT
TO LIGHT, IS THE FIRSt ONE ON LAV/E ST. ACROSS ALTON OPPOSITE MiNE*THE
OTHER ONE IS ON THE CORNER OF MEADE AND THE AVENUE. IF THIB PLAN CAN
BE CARRIED OUT,WILL YOU PLEASE GIVE ME WHAT KIND OF WIRES WE MUST USE AD
AND SOME DIRECTIONS AS HOW TO BRANCH IT - VIE FIND THAT VIE CAN DO THIS
KIND OF WORK FROM^ TO % OF THE COST THEY CHARGE US IN CHICAGO. IS IT
POSSIBLE IN REGARD TO THpSE DWELLINGS MENTIONED, THAT VIE COULD ADOPT THE
THREE WIRE SYSTEM 7 FOR THE HOUSE DIRECTLY WEST OF MINE,THERE WILL BE
30 LAMPS,THE ONE NORTH OF THAT 20 LAMPS FOR THE ONE ON LAWE ST. NORTH
OF MINE 20 LAMPS AND FOR THE ONE ON MEADE ST. ON THE TV/O CORNERS THERE
35 EACH. VIE HAD PERHAPS BETTER HAVE CAPACITY FOR 50 OR fiO MORE LAMPS,
IN CASE ANY H0USE8 ON THE LINE SHOULD ELECT TO TAKE THEM. PLEASE GIVE
ME THE INFORMATION ON THIS SUBJECT AT ONCE,AS PARTIES HAVE BEEN PROMISED
THE LIGHTS BY THE 1ST. OF MAY. ANOTHER EMBARRASSING FACT THAT I LEARNED
IN MY INTERVIEW IN N. Y. IS THAT OUR K DYNAMOS ARE OF NO ACCOUNT,ST ILL ft

In preparing your estimate tor Des Moines
Please bear in mind that the property of the Des Moines

installation.
They now own a 350 light Fdison dynamo with automat¬

On the re-organized plan they will have not to ex¬

T hope it will be enough to place 1000 ten candle

Des Moines is a splendid town and there will be no

Messrs:
Wi33 you p3ease advise us what is the very
3owes t figure at which we can offer to make canvass , n d
estimate for Edison centra3 stations?
Some time ago we were adviseti that the expense
wou3d aggregate in the neighborhood of SU50.00.
Vith added experience in this 3ine of work and
increased faculties it wou3 d appear to us that this
charge is exorbitant; at 3 east it a3most invariab3y has
the effect of coo3ing the ardor of 3oca3 capita3ists
who have previous3v manifested an interest in 3oca3 Edison
enterprises.
Alreadv handicapped by no inconsiderab3e roya3ty it
wou3d seem to „s advisab3e that the 3owest possib3e sum

Dear Sir:
I am going to Minneapolis and St. Paul tontorrow
to stay a few days. The arc light people have met
with very great success in that vacinity; the Brush,
United States and Fuller Companies all have a large num¬
ber of lights in operation there. The United States Co.
have incandescent lights in operation, both in St. Paul and
Minneapolis. The Brush-Swan people also have incandescent
lamps in operation.
Maj. Eaton has given me permission to stir up the
Edison interests while there. I shall do everything in my
power during mv leisure time.
In order that I may administer as black an eye as
possible to the aro light interests, I wish *you would
write me, care of the Church « Graves Mfg. Co., Minneapo¬
lis, Minn., the prices at which you can sell your arc
light dynamos and lamps when in readiness. How much
horse-power will you take per lamp?
Mr. Moore is here, and i(B

Dear Sir:
When the original estimate was made for the Des Moines install¬
ation, it was proposed to run the dynamos direct from the Buckeye
engine and also from the Armington & Simms engine. The dynamos were
ordered on the supposition that this plan could be carried out, but
when they were received it was found that the bed-plates on the mach¬
ines were so constructed as to prevent it.
We were therefore compelled to put in countershafting and extra
belting.
You will remember that the dynamos were placed on the second
floor, while thegengines are on the first floor. As a special con¬
struction of the dynamo was required by the station, it would seem
that some one was neglectful in not calling our attention to this
fact, so that the original plans could be carried out.
I think you ought to be advised of this matter, so that the neg¬
lect could be located where it belongs.
Very truly yours,

If your Mr. Insull will kindly recall the

not ask reduction on Electric Pons or Elao-
tric Pen parts, but only upon battery parts

della Esposizione generals Italiana in Torino 1884
La solloscrilla Sociela Generalc Ilaliana di elellricila si-
slema Edison dichiara di adire lanlo in nome proprio
quanto in nomc del signor T. A. Edison di Nuova-York,
che essa rapprescnta in Italia, at concorso pel prcmio
governalivo bandito con Regio Decreto 10 dicetnbre 4883
nonche pel qucllo aggiunlo dal Municipio di Torino con
sua Deliberazionc 30 gennajo 1884:
a) per le invenzioni piu imporlanti concernenti Ie
applicazioni industrial! della elellricila;
b) per le uiacchine e gli apparecchi per 1’ elelli o-
lecnica;
c) per chi presentera nella Sezione di Elettricila del-
F Esposizione un’ invenzione o un sislema di apparecchi
cbc cosliluiscano un vero progresso per la soluzione pra-
lica dci problcmi conncssi alle applicazioni industrial! del-
relellriciia, alia frasmissionc dell’energia, all’illuminazione
cd alia mclallurgia.
II lilolo che la soltoscrilla Socictu sollopone al giudlzlo
della Commissionc aggiudicalrice 6 l’applicazione su grande
scala delle lampade elellriche ad incandescenza all’illumi¬
nazione delle cilia, con un sislcma complclo di canalizza-
zione e di dislribuzione a domicilio e subordinalamenle la
speciale applicazione all’ illuminazione dci lealri.
I.
Qualunque sia il giudizio che si voglia porlare- sullc
invenzioni che prclusero a quclla di Edison nello sludio
delle lampade ad incandescenza, e cosa ormai inconleslala
anclie pei verdelli che ebbero a dame persone e Iribunali
competenli, che ad Edison spella l’onore di aver invenlalo
per il primo una lanipada ad incandescenza veramenlc
pralica e capace di essere impiegala senza difficolla e con
vantaggio per la illuminazione.
Edison ha avulo inollre il mcrilo di risolvcre per il
primo il problema della dislribuzione della correhle per
illuminazione di grandi centri medianle una role di con-
dullori. INessuno priina di lui ha iminaginalo un sislema
di dislribuzione cosi complclo c perfello, e nessuno dopo
di lui ha polulo inlrodurvi un’aggiunla o modificazione di
qualclie imporlanza.
Qucslb sislcnia Iia per caralleri
i° II modo speciale di calcolarc la role dci condul-
lori in manicra che la dilTercnza di forza elcllro-molricc
in doe qualsiasi punli della retc, non sia maggiore di una
quanlila lissala u priori , che nel caso parlicolare pralico
si pud ridurre ad a I '/, o 8 per cento: cosicche I’inten-
sita della luce si puo considerare pralicamente come co-
slantc in qualsiasi punlo dell’area alia quale la retc si
cslende.
2. ° Un sistema completo di condullori sotterranci con-
sislenli in sbarre di rame racchiuse enlro lubi di ferro
con una miscela isolanle, con scatole di unione, apparec-
chi di sicurezza e di presa, in guisa da oltcnere il piu
perfello isolamento e da rendere il servizio di illumina¬
zione in un grande quarliere altrellanlo semplice, facile e
sicuro quanto il servizio dell’illuminazione a gaz.
3. ° Una serie di organi di sicurezza consistent! in
lili o lustre di melallo facilmente fusibile che inlerrompono
la corrcnlc ogni qual volla essa divenli, per cause straor-
dinarie, lanlo intensa da minacciare di riscaldare peiicolo-
samenle i condullori. Quesli organi di sicurezza sono cosi
numcrosi c cosi opporlunamentc suddivisi, che la loro ef-
licacia si cslende dalla rele inliera sino ai piu piccoli
gruppi di lampade e perfino alle singole lampade ad una
ad una.
4. ° L’invenzionc di una macchina dinamo-elellrica di
grandi proporzioni, capace di alimentare' sino a 1200 lam¬
pade da d6 candele cadauna. Senza una macchina cosi
colossalc sarebbe stala inalluabile qualunque idea di illu-
minarc un grande quarliere richiedente migliuja di lampade
conlcmporancamcnle accese. Qucsta dinaino, conosciula solto
- (i -
il nonic di dinamo [Edison tipo C, 6 slala gia apprezzala
come merila da iutli gli specialist!.
5. ” L’applicazioneTa cadauna dinamo del suo molore,
cosicche in una Slazione ccnlralc di illuminazione tulle Ic
macchinc sono indipendenti 1’ una dall’allra e si pud ag-
giungere o togliere una o piu dinamo a quelle chc sono
in movimenlo senza aicun inconvenienle e colla massima
rapidila. Con cid si evila complelamcnle il pericolo che al
qunrliere -illuminate manchi ad un Irallo la luce per un
guaslo ai motori, come polrcbbc avvenirc qualora tulle le
dinamo licevcsscro il movimento da un solo molore o da
un sol gruppo di motori accoppiati.
6. ° Una serie di apparecchi regolatori, awisalori e
indiealori, pci quali nello slesso locale dellc macchine si
d costanlcmcnle informali del numcro delle lampade che
sono accese nel quarlicre, e si ba immedialamenle nolizia
di qualunque variazione avvenga nclla forza elellro-molrice,
cid che permelle- di regolare subito il campo magnelico
delle dinamo in azione. Con queslo sislema, la coslanza
della luce riesce pralicamenlc indipendenle dal numero
delle lampade che si accendono o si spengono, anche ad
un Irallo e senza dame avviso alia slazione, nel quartiere
illuminate, come la sotloscrilta Socicla 6 in grado di pro-
varlo giornahnenle nel suo impiaulo di Milano.
7. " Un sislema di uiisuralore a eleltrolisi assolula-
menle pralico e preciso nei suoi risullali, per accertare il
consumo di luce presso gli ulenli.
Edison ha npplicalo per la prinia volla queslo-si-
slema, cosi mirabilmenle completo in Iutli i suoi parlico-
lari, a uno dei quarlieri di IN’ew-York, illuminando un’aroa
di un chilomelro quadralo circa con un numero di lam¬
pade, chc presentemenlc oltrepassa 10,000. 11 sislema
funzioua. dal settembre 1882, e da eccellenti risullali cosi
lecnici come finanziari, come si pud dedurlo dalle relazioni
chc ne sono slale falle in numcrosc pubblicazioni.
La solloscrilla Sociela crede adunque che l’invienzione
dellc lampade ad incandescenza e quella del sislema di
dislribuzione della luce a domiciiio coi parlicolari superior-
mente descrilli, siano liloli tali che le permellano di iseri-
versi, quale rappresentanlc del signor T. A. Edison al
concorso in base al programma col quale fu bandilo, sia
per 1’invenzione, sia per le macchine cd apparecchi im-
picgali per alluarla.
I diversi sistemi ed apparecchi precedenlcmenle descrilli
sono lulli esposli nella Galleria dell’elellricila, ad eccezionc
della dinamo lipo C; sono esposli cioe:
a) lulli i parlicolari della canalizzazione sollerranea;
b) u'n disegno illuslrativo di una rcle di condullori,
e precisamenle di quella impiantala nel cenlro di Milano;

golalori, organi di sicurczza, inlerrullori della correnle, ecc.;
cl) una serie di misuralori della correnle. O

INol meilcsimo tempo la solloscrilla Soeiela credo pure
di concorrere anclie in nome proprio pei litoli seguenti:
A. — Per avere falto i( prime e ancora unico im-
pianto in Europa di nna Stazione cenlrale di illuminazionc
elellrica con dislribuzione di luce in un vaslo quarliere mc-
diante una rete solterranea di condullori.
B. — Per avere applicalo T illuminazionc elellrica ad
incandcscenza, se non al primo tealro, cerlo per la prima
volla in Italia e nel tealro piu grande che sinora sia
slalo illuminalo elellricamenle in Europa con complete
esclusione di qualunquc allro sislcma di illuminazione: cid
che in Italia non e slalo falto ancora da altri.
C- — Per avere esleso nolevolmenle l’illuminazionc
elellrica negli Slabilimenti induslriali e soprallulto per averne
falla 1’applicazione alia marina mercantile.
A.
La Stazione cenlrale di illuminazione che la solloscrilla
Soeiela ha erelto in Milano, ha per iscopo di illuminare il
cenlro di Milano, su un’arca che si eslendc atlualmenlc
sino a 550 e piu melri di distanza dal locale dclle mac-
chine, con una rele di condullori solterranei, che al pre¬
sent hanno una lunghezza complessiva di Melri 6350.
La Stazione fu inslallala sopra l’area ove sorgeva il tealro
di Sanla Radegonda c conta ora sci grandi dinamo di lipo 0
- 9 -
da 1200 lampadc cadauna, coi rispetlivi molori a vapore,
pid una dinamo da 500 lampade pel servizio di giorno
colla sua motrice, nonehd cinque grandi caldaje a vapore
della forza complessiva di ollre 800 cavalli.
I lavori di coslruzione cominciarono neH’oltobre 1882
e la Stazione principio a funzionare regolarmenle nel luglio
1883. Da quell’cpoca essa funziono senza interruzione
giorno e nolle, senza che mai si verificassero inlerruzioni
di luce c neppure acCidcnti di qualche rilievo.
Fin dal principio venne illuminalo il tealro Alessandro
Manzoni con perfetlo successor cid che permise alia Soeiela
di accingersi con maggior coraggio alia illuminazione del
Tealro alia Scala, che un voto del Consiglio comunale di
Milano aveva decrelalo.
Inlanto si estendeva la illuminazione elellrica ad allri
consumatori e in ispecie a call'd, circoli, ecc. come appare
dal seguenle elenco che presenta il numero totale dei con-
sumalori nel maggio 1884.

ELENCO DELLE INSTALLAZIONI
alimentato daila Stazione centr.llo di Santa Radegonda in Milana
Enlro I’anno correnlc la solloscrilla SociolA conla di por-
larc a 6000 alrncno il numero delle lampado niontale senza
no aumcnlarc il numero delle macchine n6 estendere la
role.
La Socicla ha csposlo nella Galleria dell’ Elellricila i
campioni dei lubi c loro numerosi accessori, coslilucnli la
role del cenlro di Milano, nonclie i campioni dogli appa-
rccchi di sicurczza, di presa e di misura, che essa im-
picga pel scrvizio di illuminazione, e inline una seric di
disegni che illuslrano la Slazione di Santa Radegonda con
lulti i dali che possono seryire a fame apprezzare 1’eslen-
sionc e l’imporlanza.
23.
Quanto all’applicazione della luce eleltrica ad incande-
scenza ai tealri, la sottoscritta Socicla nc ha fatto uno studio
speciale, molivalo daila grandiosila dell’impianto che essa
era ehiamata a fare nel Tealro alia Scala. Si trattava in-
falli di una installazione che richiedeva piu di 2800 1am-
pade c sulla scena forse piu vasta del mondo. La diflicolta
ha consistito non tanto nel numero delle lampade quanto
nell’applicazionc della luce eleltrica agli apparecchi mobili
della scena. Non esscndoci per cio alcun prccedentc, la

L esilo degli appareccbi, 6 slalo complelamcnle soddis-
facente, cosicchd i campionfc modelli cbe’ sc nepresentano
all’Esposizionc per illuslrarc questa speciaic ap'plicazione
rimarranno i lipi dcfinilivi per le inslallazioni cbe la So¬
ciela polra essere chiamata a fare in allri Tealri. H
Per quanlo le applicazioni della luce elellrica ad incan-
dcsccnza alfilluminazione di opificj c slabilimenli per mezzo
di impianli isolali, siano assai modestc c mollo piu facili
di quelle nei lealri, nondimeno la solloscrilla Sociela credo
di doverne fare menzione, perche il gran numcro di quesli
impianli dimoslra cbe il sislema applicalo e il piu pralico,
cconomico c sicuro.
Fra quesle applicazioni pare alia Sociela di dover ri-
cbiamarc 1’allenzione specialmcnle sopra la illuminazionc,
perfetlamenle riuscila, di Ire grandi vapori Iransallanllici.
Mcnlrc in Ingbillerra c in America l’illuminazione elellrica
dei piroscali mercanlili va rapidamenle cslendendosi, in
Italia non se ne aveva ancora un csempio prima che la
Sociela intraprendesse anche quesla applicazione chc richiede
non pochi appareccbi speciali.
Ecco l’clenco degli impianli isolali falti dalla Sociela a
lullo il correnle maggio 1884.
(*) On’applicazione no fu giu falta ncll'uprile tostd ilecorso pof i rogola*

18.34 International Electrical Exhibition 1884
Franklin Institute
Daar Sir: As you are doubtless aware, it is
the intention of the Franklin Institute to hold an International
Electrical Exhibition which shall fully illustrate the state of
the science at present. Y/e are receiving great encouragement
from all parts of the world and we have every prospect that the
exhibit will be an exceedingly successful one.
I have been requested
to write to you urging upon you the propriety of making an individ¬
ual exhibit of your numerous electrical inventions; several of aar
Institute friends have promised to speak to you concerning this
matter. We are frequently asked by the general public as to the
names of the probable exhibitors and there is always considerable
dissatisfaction expressed on not finding ycu r name among the
individual exhibitors. It is true that your company intend
making a full exhibit of your electric light apparatus, but this
forms so small a part of your electrical inventions that we are
exceedingly desirous of having your individual exhibit as complete
as possible.

Sir :—The President of the United States in pursuance of a special provision of
Congress has appointed a Scientific Commission which in the name of the United
States Government may conduct a National Conference of Electricians in Philadelphia
in the Autumn of 1884.
This act of Congress provides: “That said Commission may invite Scientific men,
native and foreign, to participate in the Conference and may in general determine the
scope and character of its work.”
I have the honor to inform you that the Commission desires you to act as
3. if!ember of ®lje National doitfcrenre of (Electricians
and has instructed me to invite you to attend its meetings and take part in its deliber¬
ations and discussions.
The Commission has determined that the opening session of the Conference shall
be held on the 8th of September next, at 3 o’clock, P. M., in the Lecture Hall of the
International Electrical Exhibition and that the sessions shall be continued from day to
day as may be necessary.
Your attention is respectfully called to the enclosed abstract of the proceedings of
the Commission relating to the Conference.
Awaiting your reply, I remain
Your obedient servant,
(Cotrtsponbing Bttrcfnra.
[ATTACHMENT]
finiteir States (Electrical Commission,
-franklin Institute, {Hiilnbclpljia, pa.
In order to facilitate the work of the Conference the Commission has agreed
upon the following rules: First, The officers of the Commission shall be the corre¬
sponding officers of the Conference. Second, All questions which are proposed for
discussion shall first have the approval of the Commission. And Third, A general
invitation shall be extended to the conferees to present papers at the sessions of
the Conference; it being understood that all papers thus presented, shall first have
been submitted in abstract to the Executive Committee and approved by them.
In transmitting the titles and abstracts of papers for approval, the author should
state the time which he desires to have assigned on the programme for the reading of
the paper.
The Commission regrets that, owing to the limited amount appropriated by
Congress, it does not feel justified in offering to pay the personal expenses of the
conferees.

motion of the Mechanic Arts.
From the eminent reputation of this institution, coupled with the fact that the projected
exhibition will be the first in America exclusively devoted to this important and progressing
branch of science, the above announcement has attracted unusual interest throughout the
United States, and the exhibition will undoubtedly afibrd an admirable opportunity of wit¬
nessing a representative display of American discovery and invention in electricity.
Office of tfic See- To increase its scientific and industrial importance, as well as to add to its attractive-
ness, it was determined shortly after its inception to give it an international character. The
S\5ulf8i "g, 9to! importance of the project having been properly represented to the Congress of the United
15 S. 7tfi Street, States, an act was passed which, having received the signature of the President of the United
2fiifa8sfpfiia. States, is now the law.
This official recognition provides for the admission into the United.vStates, duty free,
of all articles for exhibition only. The text of this act of Congress is as follows:
"Whereas, the Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania for the promotion of
the Mechanic Arts proposes to hold an exhibition of electrical apparatus, machinery, tools
and implement, and other articles used in scientific and mechanical and manufacturing busi¬
ness and investigations; and
“ Whereas, it is deemed desirable to promote the success of such an exhibition by all
reasonable encouragement, in order that it may be made useful for the promotion of know¬
ledge ; therefore, be it
J
'• Resolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America
m Congress assembled, That all articles that Shall be imported for the sole purpose of ex¬
hibition at the exhibition to be held by the: Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania
for the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts, in the city of Philadelphia in the years 188 a or
1S84, shall be admitted without payment of duty or customs fees or charges, under such re-
?s si resold*! prescribe; provided, that all such articles
as shall be sold m the United States, or withdrawn for consumption therein at any time
after such importation, shall be subject to the duties, if any, imposed on like articles by the
revenue laws in force at the date of importation; and provided, further, that in case any
article imported under the provisions of this joint resolution shall be withdrawn for con
sumption, or shall be sold without payment of duty as required by law. all the penalties pre'
scribed by the revenue laws shall be applied and enforced against such articles and against
the persons who may be guilty of such withdrawals or sales." h
It remains only to add, at the present time, that no effort will be spared by the Franklin
Zr U nlT and important representation of the progress of foreign countries,
The subject of electricity and its applications is at present attracting an unusual amount
of attention, and the exhibition side by side Ofthe'best achievements of Europe and America
cannot fail to be in the highest degree instructive. • P

January fc)th. Ibb4.
Samuol Jnsull, Jr. Esq,
21 Burton Crescent,
J.ondon, W. C. Engl and.
My I)oar Insull:-
T was very glad to rocoive your letter of the
aist. December, We have received all your cables and T. trust have
replied to them as promptly as you desired.
In relation to the Williamsport business, which I men¬
tioned to you in my last letter, as we did not hear from these
people in roforenee to tho first payment on account of their con¬
tract Mr. Edison doomed it desirable to write and cancel the same,
which we did, V/e had Tomlinson draw up a letter for us, and the
Williamsport business is* nidi. V/e do not lose a- cent by the tran¬
saction, as wo had not given an order, neither had Rich done any
work in connection with the erection of the building, and we con¬
gratulate ourselves upon having gotten out of the matter so easily.
I think they would havo stuck us for about $15,000,
Tho Tiffin station was started up suceesfully and has
boon running' ever since. I cabled you to this effect some days
ago. Mt.Carmol starts up on Saturday next and Hazleton and Belle-
fonto will follow quickly. V/o havo had considerable trouble with ■-
Borgmann lately in reg'ard to his shipments. He has been very
tardy in getting our orders off, but we have at last prevailed
upon him to work at night ap4~"thoreby^we^a^e insured of more
prompt delivery. I wired the Tiffin Company to send us the se¬
cond payment on account of their contract, but received a reply
nirij-
2
from thorn stating that all thoir supplies had not boon received,
and they do not consider thoir installation coinplote. This is a
delusion which wo should endeavor to dispel in connection with the
installation of our plants. As soon as a station is ready to
supply light we should receive our socond payment, v/hether all «£
our supplies are there or not. It is not equitable for a company
to hold S15,000. of our money simply because S100. bs2 worth of
material has not been received at a station.
We have had Tomlinson working on a contract for some,
time past and he has gotten out a splendid document to bo used in
closing our contracts. We have had numerous discussions
about this mattor, and I suggested that in future we demand fifty
per cent upon the signing of the agreement, thirty five per cent
when tho installation is ready to supply light and the remaining
fiftoen per cent after it has been ready to supply light for thirty
days. This applies to small contracts, that is contracts not
over $555,000. Anything above that I think your suggestion of
having a payment due when the building is roofed is an excellent
ono, Novr in regard to this fifty per cent up'on the signing of
tho agreement, if we can collect that much money at that juncture
it will at once establish tho responsibility of tho parties with
whom we are dealing. We made some calculations based upon the
assumption that after a plant v/as installed the company would fail
to malco tho necessary payment and we should have to remove the
installation, being unable to carry it. In these limited con¬
tracts we need fifty per cent on the signing of the agreement to
// J f / . 0-1

save oursolvos from loss, and this Williamsport transaction has in
'reality been a valuable experience to us. We got a list of the
stockholders and we found that p. B. Shaw, young Detwilor and
Dr. Detwiler, his father, held one third of the stock. Now it was
their intention to scrape together the first payment on account of
this installation and after it was ready to supply light they would
lot us wait for our money until they unloaded their stock,
Nono of these parties have sufficient money to warrant their un¬
dertaking to carry S20,000. between them, and they simply meant to
gamble with us. If wb should close a contract before you return
I will do all in my power to have the payments made as I suggest.
Of course I cannot tell at this writing whether you approve of than
or not, but if they arc not in accordance with your ideas you of
course will substitute other terms when you come back. I, myself,
should not feel justified in advocating any other course than that
which I have explained.
In regard to finances, everything is moving all right,
but this Tiffin business has knocked me out a little and wo are
not flush. I can, however, keep things moving all right.
I paid the Ansonia seventy fivo per cent of tho amount of the
coppor they supplied on account of the Kail River installation.
MACHINE WORKS. The Machine Works had run out of orders
so we gave them instructions to make 10 “H” dynamos, 10 "V" dyn¬
amos, 15 “S* dynamos and 10 “R" dynamos. We had to order 15
S” machines, as v/e had requisitions from tho Isolated Company for
(1 more than Soldan had instructions to make. This leaves us 9 for
?"<<-. at
our village plant businoss, and at this season it is necessary to
anticipate a little. Wo will not have any trouble financing, as
X think wo will get orders for most of them before they aro fin¬
ished. I gaYo Dougherty the usual four months note, and v/ill give
Macphorson, Willard & Co. a note from the isolated Company for tho
amount of their December bill to-morrow. Anything else I can meet
with cash,
CANVASSERS. We have six more towns in Pennsylvania to
canvass and have Cooke and Lyon on this work, Wilber is canvas¬
sing Lexington, Ky., from v/hich point ho goes to Frankfort, Ky.,
thence to Danville, Va,, after that we v/ill put him in Connnecti-
cut. Dyer is making a canvass of New York City,
In regard to the Piqua installation, Stuart of Cincinnati
has been horo the last two days in connection with changing this
from a 500 light plant to a 1,000 plant. We have made a new es¬
timate for 1,000 lights, v/hich we will substitute for tho old one,
and v/e have also made a bill for the loss we v/ill sustain on
the
account of having to earr^material ordered for tho 500 light plant
but v/hich is useless in connection v/ith tho larger unit. The
boiler, pump and some smaller material cannot be used and we are
charging him twenty per cent of tho cost, Tho wire v/hich is
throv/n out of service v/o aro aro taking back at sixteen cents per
pound. It is only a matter of about $430. The full amount
v/hich v/e are charging as loss on account of this determination of
theirs to alter the sizo of their plant is $9 Xb. This v/ill covor
evorything. The Newburgh business is going along very slowly,
and they have not yot got the roof on tho building. I think that
/ Sg-tf-- O! -CC/
5
this is the^last straw that breaks the camel's back^ and we should
never again allow a local company to erect their own edifice.
The payments on account of the material wo ordered in connection
with this plant come duo and we are at the mercy of these local
partios and have to finance in such a mannor that,if wo had more
than ono installation of the kind,! think wc would be seriously
embarrassed. You will remember that you used to have some protty
warm arguments with Mr. Edison, who rather favored the idea of
allowing local people to erect their own building. He is now
thoroughly converted and says he will never again make an agreement
of this nature,
I suppose you have hoard that the Board of Aldermen of
New York passed an Ordinance commanding the electric light compa¬
nies to put their wiros underground within two years.
. Clarke, the light Company's engineer, has resigned his
position, and I believe undertakes the commercial developement of
a recent invention. This invention is an indicator which can be
used on shipboard, and when placed m the captain's cabin, with
wiros running to certain points of the shi^presuming he has a
cargo of cotton, indicate the temperature of this material and
show whether thoro is any danger of combustion. .Of course it can
bo used for many other purposes, and I have heard it very highly
spoken of. I believe he has organized a company to push it.
I hope my letters roach you with sufficient regularity.
I am looking forward with much pleasure to your return, as the fact
is I have not had a chance to take a respectable meal since you
left he
I ear, also looking .forward with a great deal of pleas¬
ure to my C ana dian, tour . It would do you a good deal of good
were you to see the cynical smilo which appears over the beaming
countenance of our joint benefactor Mr. Gilmore, when he hears me
talk about going away,
Mr. Gilmore joins me in wishing you‘a safe and pleasant
voyage on your return trip, and hoping to see you on the 2«th.

Samuel Insull, Esq.,
35 Fifth Avenue, Hew York City.
My Bear Insull;-I have just received a letter from
Frank Armington saying that his father, mother, and your sister
would sail in the Gallia, August 23d. Frank and his friend,
Mr. Ayer, will sail in the City,of Rome the same day.
Of course, you will know when to expect these ships
and I shall depend on your wiring me or letting me know when I
shall be in New York to me*t them.
Sincerely yours,

To the Stockholders of the Edison Ore Milling Co., Limited!
Your Board have .little to report as to tho_ oporations of
the company during the past year. We..expected to have a number
of the magnetic iron ore separators in operation in Canada last
Spring, but owing to the fact that successful means of smelting
the ore had not been devised, the owners of the deposits were not
willing to go to the expense of separating ore if they could find
no market for it.
This was our own trouble, as stated in the last annual
Report, when we were operating a separator at duonocontaug beach,
Rhode Island. In that Report it was stated that we had ceased
work and closed our business on that beach, because we could not
find a market for our product. The cost to the Company of this
experiment was $4,832.44.
The financial resources of the Company are low. There
is owing to Mr. Edison about $1,050. for machinery, experiments, So.
The cash advanced to the Company by tho General Manager, Mr. S. B.
Eaton, amounting to $1,577.89, which was owing to him a-year ago,
is still unpaid; and this amount, together with some other small
advances for petty cash expenses, is still owing to him. We also
owe $548.17 for taxes and $250 to the Farmers, Loan fi Trust Co.,
for acting as Registrar of the Stock. There is no cash in the
Troasury with which to pay these debts, noi? have we any cash to
pay our current expenditures.
Since the closing of the operations, at Rhode Island,
Hr. Conley, who was employed as Superintendent there, has devoted
his time and attention to devising moans for the successful reduc¬
tion of the ore to a marketable product. Aftor spending over a
year in numerous experiments, Mr. Conley believes he has invented
a process which will accomplish this rosult, and has raised some
capital for the purpose of erecting a furnace in the spring, when
he expects to commence the manufacture of iron and steel from the
magnetic iron ore. If Mr. Conley’s process proves successful, it
will open up a large demand for magnetic iron ore, and, consequent¬
ly, for the ore separator.
Mr. Edison’s experiments as to. gold and silver ores have
been limited, owing principally to want of funds, there having boon
no money in the treasury for the last year and a half. h’e has
conducted a good deal of experimenting at his own expense, paying
for it himself, Jjut it is not probable that any further consider¬
able experiments will be made until the treasury is supplied with
adequatn funds.

This folder contains correspondence to and from Edison's patent attorneys,
along with other correspondence relating to patent applications, patent litigation,
and other patent matters. Included also are other patent-related documents, such
as patent applications, caveats, and preliminary statements.
Approximately 80 percent of the documents have been filmed. The following
categories of documents have not been filmed: duplicate copies of correspondence;
printed copies of Edison's U.S. patents (see Thomas A. Edison Papers Microfilm
Edition, Part I, reels 1-2); copies of Edison's claims; other inventors' claims,
specifications, and patents; correspondence and other documents concerning non-
Edison patents, except when they relate directly to Edison and his work; routine
bills and receipts from patent attorneys; routine correspondence from patent
attorneys regarding accounts and fees.
Application files for Edison's domestic and foreign patents can be found in
the Patent Series.

Case No. 122,320.
Filod February 23, 1334.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONORRN.
Be it known that I, Sigmund Borgmann, of New Vork City, in
the County and State of New York, have invented a certain new and
useful Improvement in Telephones, of which the following is a
specification.
This invention relates especially to telephonosreceivers of
that class wherein a movement of the diaphragm is produced by
the expansion and contraction of the constantly touching elec¬
trodes, caused by the thermal effect of the current at the junc¬
tions of said electrodes.
In carrying out my invention, I employ two or more electrodasC
of such character as to be readily affected thermally by the cur¬
rent . One electrode is attached to the diaphragm and they are
all so arranged that they may be adjusted to loose contact*:
Preferably I employ a number of cylindrical buttons, com¬
posed of or faced with tellurium placed together in a tube of
insulating material means being provided for adjusting them in
the tube to the proper degree of loose contact.
TheTcurrent, passes through the series of electrodes, and at the
contacts, variations in expansion or contraction of the tellurium
are produced by the variations of the current transmitted to the
instrument. Vibrations of the diaphragm, corresponding to such
current vibrationd are thus produced.
I may in order to produce an increased effect employ means
additional to the current required for operating the instrument
for heating the electrodes, keeping them at a constant normal
point of expansion so that the current variations produce changes a
above and below this point .
These extra heating means may bo a battery in the line or
a coil from the transmitter battery at that end of the line, or
from a separate battery may bo wound around the tube inclosing
the contact buttons: or heat may bo applied by means of an alcohol
or other flame, or in anyi other convenient manner.
This extra heating is applicable not only to my particular
form of receiver, but to any which employ the thermal effect of
the current and to thermally affected transmitters as well.
In this accompanying drawing:-
Figure (1} is a side elevation of a receiver embodying my inven¬
tion.
Figure (2) a sectional view of the same.
Figure (3) a rear elevation.
Figure (4) a section of a modified arrangement of the adjusting
device.
Figure (5) a view of a contact button faced, with tellurium: and
Figures <0,7A3) are diaphragms illustrating different ways of
heating the receiver.
A is a suitable case provided with an oar piece B
the diaphragm 0, which in this instance is of metal.
1, is connected with the diaphragm.
, and holding
Circuit wire
Attached to the center of the diaphragm is the conducting
rodji. This is attached to or bears against the first of the
series of cylindrical contact, buttons b b which are of tellurium
or other readily thermally-affected conducting material, or nay
be of any conducting rnaterialce Figure In) faced with the tell¬
urium .d,. The buttons haveatheir meeting surfaces planed smooth
so that they are in contact on the whole of such surfaces.
The series of contact buttons is inclosed in a glass tube a..
Adjusting means ax» praxided for the buttonssa»
supported by the metal bridge piece D joined to the
the insulating posts K, E.
provided,
iso A by
A stationary sleeve f is hold in the center of the bridge
piece D through which passes a rod £. having a rib h which enters
a slot in the interior of the sleeve , so that the rod can move
longitudinally but cannot turn within the sleeve.
Upon the inner end of rod £ is a metal sleeve i. whoso closed
end bears against tho end of the tube and the last button.
( Figure 2) of tho series.
Near its outer end tho sleeve f is internally screw-threaded
and a thumb-scrow k turns within said sleeve upon the rod z and
against the enlarged portion of said rod the thumb screw being
held to the rod £. by a screw Jk.
It is evident that when the screw k is turned the rod £ and
sleeve ± are moved forward against tho inclosing tube and tho
contact buttons and the tube will be moved thereby while the buttons
being pressed by .a, are pressed into close contact. The circuit
wire 2, is connected with bridge piece D and thence with the"
electrodes.
In the form shown in figure 3, a. spring 1 is placed within
the tube and the sleeve j. bears against said spring, the other
and of which is attached to a sliding block m which is in contact
with the last button of the series.
The pressure of the spring and consequently the contact of
tho button is adjustible in tho same manner as in figure (1)
As previously explained tho buttons are adjusted to loose con¬
tacts throughout the series. Then variations intomperature caused
caused by variations in the current from any suitable transmitter
which passes through the series of olectrodos, cause variations in
expansionsand contraction at the contact surfaces of the buttons
and consequent movements of diaphragm by which tho sound waves
imparted to the transmitter are reproduced.
To produce an increased effect as bofore explained, means at
provided for raising the contacts to a certain normal heat, the
current causing variations above and below fchis.
Relerring to figures 0,7&8, R is the thermally affected
receiver, T any suitable transmitter, G the transmitter battery
I the induction coil, and L the lino.
In figure 0, an extra battery 0 is placed in the line, and
the current therefrom heats the contacts of the receiver.
In figure 7, a coil ig. is formed around the tube enclosing the
contact buttons, such coil forming part of an extra circuit from
the transmitter battery G.
In figure 8, a lamp H, is used to heat the tube and contact
buttons.
It is evident that the tube for holding the electrodes may
be used for supporting the electrodes or contacts of any telephono
whoso electrodes it is desired to adjust to or from each other.
What I claim is;
Fi - r - st ‘ ln a telephone, the combination with electrodos or con¬
tacts, of a tube enclosing and supporting the same, substantially
as set forth.
S . ac _ o . nd; . In a telephone, the combination of electrodes,a tube
enclosing the same,and means for adjusting said electrodos long¬
itudinally within the tube, substantially as set fortJa

Fourth. In a telephone receiver, the combination of a series of
electrodes or tellurium or other metal readily affected by hast

Be it known that I, Sigmund Borgmann, of New York City, in
the County and State of Now York, have inventod a certain now and
useful Improvement in F.loctrin Telephone Transmitters._
of which the following is a specification.
The object I have in view is an effective telephone trans¬
mitter; which will be exceedingly cheap and simple in construct¬
ion, will no* require any adjusting parts or diaphragm dampeners,
and will always give the maximum effect.
I have found that b* placing a loose unconfined body of [di¬
vided conducting material upon contiguous conducting plates, form¬
ing the poles or terminals of an electric circuit, so that such
loose body of divided conducting material will complete the cir¬
cuit between the plates, and by locating these parts so that they
will be subjected to the articulate sound waves, the result I de¬
sire can be accomplished.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof.
Figure (1) is a section of the instrument with the mouth piece
connected with the bottom of the case:
Figure (2) a section of an instrument having a somewhat differ¬
ent arrangement of terminal plates, and having the mouth piece
connected with the top of the case:
Figures (354) top views of the diaphragms and terminal plates
used in the instruments of figures 1S2:
Figure (5(1 a top view of a diaphragm with arradial arrangement
of terminals thereon : and
Figure (n) a external view of a modified way of mounting the cir¬
cuit wires.
A is the case or shell of the instrument. Within, is locat¬
ed a horizontal diaphragm, B, of circular, square or other shape,
made of insulating material, such as mica, or hard rubber, and
secured at its edges. Upon the upper face of the diaphragm, are
secured thin plates C, D, of KBXdxx*a.ggxiak»xxak conducting materi¬
al, such as metal orccarbon.
By one construction, there are only two of these plates
figures 1*3, which are of semi-circular form, or other shape cor¬
responding with form of diaphragm, covering nearly the entire dia¬
phragm, but not touching each other. These plates are secured to
the diaphragm, and have connections, 1,2, with binding posts a a*
as shown, to which the circuit connections 3,4, are made. Upon
the terminal plates C,D, within the case, is placed a loose un¬
confined body E of divided conducting material.
Granules of carbon or of carbonaceous material are preferad,
hot divided metals, oxides of metals, and metalloids,can also be
used. This body of divided material does not fill the case above
the diaphragm, an air chamber b, being left, so that such body
of matorial is not confined..
The instrument is necessarily maintained in a horizontal
position, and will be fixed in or upon a suitable box, as will be
readily understood. The mouth piece F may be connected with the
ends or sides of the case above or below the diaphragm.
Instead of bringing the terminal plates C,D, close together,
one or more intermediate plates 0, figures >i, l, *b, may be used.
The intermediate plate or plates may be connected with the
binding posts or not as desired, producing a series or multiple
aro arrangoraont of tho terminal platos•
The terminal plates being mounted upon, and themselves in
fact forming part of, the diaphragm, such plates and the loose
unconfined body of divided conducting material, are moved in un¬
ison withnthe articulate xpsBxfa sound whxshb waves . The effect
when the instrument is connected in circuit with a receiving tel
ophono, is to transmit articulate sound.
The terminal plates give the necessary largo surface to make
the unconfined body of loose divided conducting material ofTectiv
and to present the breaking of the circuit, which I have found
can never occur.
In figure a, the terminal plates are shown as placed in the
bottom of a cup H, which is mounted upon the center of the dia¬
phragm, the body of material B, being carried by the cup.
What I claim is:
In anolectric telephone transmitter, an unconfined body
of loose divided conducting material, interposed m the
circuit, and subjected to the action of the sound waves,
substantially as set forth.
Second:
divided
plating
In an electric telephone transmitter, the combination
with circuit terminals, of an unconfined body of loose
conducting material resting upon such terminals and eom-
the circuit between them, substantially as set forth.
Third: In an electric telephone transmitter, the combination
with a diaphragm of insulating material, of circuit ter¬
minals mounted thereon, and an unconfinod body of loose divided
ducting material,

Wilson v. Edison.
Gent lemen.
Your favor of the 12th ad¬
dressed to ua here, but delivered yester¬
day in Now York and thence forwarded, was re¬
ceived to-day. We will let you know in
plenty of time about the trial. It will be
called in the week beginning with the first
Monday of April. I am afraid we shall ■
Mr.. Edison to explain the nature of the
transaction, but will save his time as such
as possible.
Yours Respectfully,

Dear Friend:-
In response to yours dated 10th April I will sayjfafter
an absence of a week from home) several of the Western Union
people were over here to see our arrangements. Among others were
Mr. A. S. B rown and Geo. B. Scott, they spent the day and seemed
much pleased. Mr. Scott said it was splendid and they would most
likly adopt the general system over there. I said all I could to
keep you in their minds.
We are delighted with our success, and 7 will do all I can to help
you with them.
Yours very truly,

The Great North Western Telegraph Co.
OP CANADA,
NEW YORK, JULY 7TH 1684*
Thomas a.Edison eso,,
65 FI FTH AVENUE, NEW VORK,
MV DEAR MR EDI S0N5-
VOU HAVE RAISED A POINT IN RELATION TO COMPETITIVE
TELEGRAPHY WHICH IS OF IMMENSE IMPORTANCE, ANO NOW THAT I MORE PERFECT¬
LY UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION ,1 READILY APPREHEND THAT UPON ITS ANSWER
DEPENOS THE POSSIBILITY OF OPPOSITION TELECRAPH COM PAN IE 3 EXISTING.
IN FURTHERANCE OF YOUR SUGGESTION I HAVE PROCURED INFORMAT¬
ION AS TO THE EXTENT OF THE TELEGRAPH BU3I NES3 BETWEEN SIXTEEN OF THE
LARCEST CITIES IN WHICH COMPETITION WAS POSSIBLE. I T IIS BUT FAI R TO
EXCLUDE FROM THIS CATEGORY SAN FRANCISCO, DENVER, AND NEW ORLEANS,AS
BUSIN ES3 AT THESE THREE EXTREME POINTS 13 RARELY COMPETED FOR. OMIT¬
TING THESE THREE CITIES AND SELECTING SIXTEEN OTHERS, IN WHICH THE
RECEIPTS OF THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY ARE LARGEST^AND IT IS ASC ER-
TAI NED that THE CR03S BUSINESS AT ALL THESE POINTS,BASED UPON THE BUSI¬
NESS OF LAST SEPTEMBER, AMOUNTS TO Si,939, 104. THIS IS NOT THE TOTAL
BUSINESS OF THE 16 CITIES,BUT SIMPLY THE BUSINESS INTERCHANGED BETWEEN
THESE SIXTEEN POINTS,
INASMUCH AS THE WESTERN UNION RECEIPTS FROM OOMESTIC BUSI¬
NESS ARE 16 MILLIONS,AND THE PRE3S PAYS IT ABOUT ONE MILLION DOLLARS,
THERE REMAINS A SUM OF ABOUT |£.mILLI0N3 WHICH MUST ARISE FROM SOUR¬
CES OTHER than these SIXTEEN CITIES. ADMITTING THIS TO BE THE CORRECT
BASIS , IT WILL BE 3EEN THAT THE TELECRAPHIC BU3I NESS BETWEEN 16 OF THE
LARCEST CITIES IN THE UNITED 3TATES IS REALLY ONLY ABOUT THIRTEEN
PER CENT OF THE TOTAL COMMERCIAL RECEIPTS OF THE WESTEFN UNION TELE-
CRaPH COMPANY 1
THE POINT YOU MAKE THEREFORE IS WELL TAKEN, VIZJ THAT IF
NO BUSINESS WHATEVER WAS TRANSACTED BETWEEN THE GREAT Cl TIES,THE
WE3TERN UNION TELEGRAPH COMPANY WOULD LOSE ONLY A VERY SMALL PROPORT¬
ION OF ITS REVENUE COMPARED WITH THE PROPORTION OF EXPENSE REflUIRED TO
CARRY THIS BUSINESS FORWARO.
OF COURSE IT WOULO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO PERFORM ALL THE FUNCTIONS
OF THIS GREAT COMPANY WITHOUT TRANSMI TTING ALL THE BUSINESS OFFERED
BETWEEN THESE CITIES. NO 8UCH IDEA COULD BE CONTEMPLATED .BUT IT IS
NEVERTHELESS A PALPABLE CONVICTION THAT THE BUSINESS BETWEEN CITIES
FORMS NOT ONLY A MUCH SMALLER PROPORTION THAN IS GENERALLY SUPPOSED OF
THE TOTAL RECEIPTS OF THE WESTERN UNION TELECRAPH COMPANY,BUT THAT THE
COOT OF DOING THIS BUSINESS IS IN STI I.L Mk R ?ER PROPORTION TO THE RE-
The Great North Western Telegraph Co.
OF 0-A-2ST
VENUE DERIVED FROM IT. IT 13 VERY CLEAR THAT THIS CLASS OF BU3I NE33
IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN ANV OTHER. THIS ARI3E8 FROM THE FACT OF THE
NECESSITY FOR NUMEROUS BRANCH OFFICES TO COLLECT AND DISTRIBUTE IT,THE
EMPLOYMENT OF A LARCE NUMBER OF OPERATORS AT EACH CHEAT CENTRE,THE
HICH RATE OF WAGES,AND EXORBITANT RENTS. IN THE COUNTRY OPERATORS ARE
LARGELY PA I D BY COMMISSION AND RENTALS ARE VERY LOW AS COMPARED WITH
TH08E IN THE GREAT CITIES.
YOUR INSUIRY THROWS NEW LIGHT UPON THE POSSIBILITY OF SUC¬
CESS IN COMPETITIVE TELEGRAPHY. AS IT IS NOW AN ASCERTAINED FACT THaT
THE TOTAL BUSINESS OF THE WESTERN UNION BETWEEN SIXTEEN OF THE LARGEST
CITIES IS LESS THAN TWO MILLIONS, IT MAY BE ESTIMATED THAT THE TOTAL
business OF ALL the OPPOSITION COMPANIES COMBINED BETWEEN THESE POINTS
WAS NOT MORE THAN 155 MILLIONS/OR THREE QUARTERS OF THE WESTERN UNION
TOTAL. THESE FIGURES ACCORD VERY WELL WITH THE KNOWN RECEIPTS OF THE
(ft O BANKERS AND MERCAIST3 AND THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH COMPANIES. IF THEREFORE
I IT IS A FACT That IK MILLIONS IS THE TOTAL AVAILABLE RECEIPTS FOR
OPPOSITION TELEGRAPH COMPANIES BASED EVEN UPON THE TOLLS PREVAILING LAST
SEPTEMBER , HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT ANY OF THEM CAN PAY EXPENSES? IF
the OPPOSITION COMPANIES COULD SUCCEED IN DEPLETING THE WESTERN UNION
OF THE WHOLE OF THE BUSINESS IT WOULD YIELD THEM NO PROFIT COMMENSUR¬
ATE WITH THE INVESTMENT NECESSARY TO TRANSACT IT. AND THE ACTUAL COST. O F
001 NC IT. THE GROWTH OF THE BUSINESS CANNOT BE STIMULATED BEYOND ITS
'pRE3ENT~V0LUME EXCEPTING IN TWO WAYS,EITHER BY INCREASED! FA Cl LI Tl E3, OR
by cutting of Rates, either of these plans is fatal to all profit for
THE OPPOSITION COMPANIES. ONLY A CERTAIN VOLUME OF BUSINESS EXISTS
AND THAT BUSINES3 CAN ONLY BE DONE AT THE CREATE3T POSSIBLE Etf»ENSE,
AND TO DIVIDE IT INTO THREE OR FOUR CHANNELS AS IT IS AT PRESENT DIVI¬
DED CAM ONLY RESULT IN L03S FOR COMPANIES WHOSE BUSINESS IS EXCLUSIVE¬
LY CONFINED TO POI NTS, WHERE,FROM THE FIGURES ABOVE PRESENTED, WE KNOW
THERE IS THE LEAST POSSIBLE PROFIT TO BE EARNED.
YOUR PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE AND SOUND COMMON SENSE HAVE CAUSED
YOU TO RAI SE A POINT WHICH IS OF THE UTMOST SIGNIFICANCE TO ALL COMPETI¬
TIVE UNDERTAKINGS IN TELECRAPHY. FOR IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT IF THE SUG¬
GESTION YOU HAVE MAOE ENTERS THE MINO OF AN INVESTOR HE WILL THINK
TWICE BEFORE PUTTING HIS MONEY INTO AN ENTERPRISE WHICH WILL ATTEMPT TO
SHARE THE MOST PROFITLESS PORTION OF THE BUSINESS WITH AN ORGANIZATION
WHICH is the MOST perfectly EQUIPPED TO PERFORM EVEN IT AT THE LOWEST
possible expense,while at the same time it is sustained by an immense
VOLUME OF PROFITABLE BUSINESS WHICH NO COMPETITIVE ENTERPRISE CAN
HOP E TO ACQUI RE .

I BELIEVE WITH VOU THAT THE WESTERN UNION COMPANV WOULD
LOSE LITTLE OR NOTHING IN THE SHAPE OF PROFIT IF IT CEA3E0. TO DO
BUSINESS BETWEEN SIXTEEN OF ITS LARGEST POINTS AND CONFINED ITSELF
TO THE BUSINESS WHICH IS CATHEREO ANO TRANSMITTED TO AND FROM POINTS
IN AND AROUND THESE CENTRES.

hr. 10:1 is on,
T suppose you refer to the last part of the first
section of your agreement of 1070, with the Light no. That
givos you, if I read it aright, only inventions capable of being
used solely in electric telegraphy, which is not the case in
question. It also compels us to give a license for telegraph
purposes, whore an invention is capable of being used for that
as well as other purposes, which is probably the case hero.
Strictly speaking therefore, you would be entitled to that per¬
centage of the profit on this machine which its use for telegraphy
would b >ar to its oth>r total use. By reading Prof. Anthony’s
letter, you will see ho speaks of "lighting *c.” It rather looks
to me as if the machine would bo used principally for purposes
other than the telegraph, but, if .you desire to have the matter
settled on an exact basis, I will write and ask what use he pro¬
poses to make of tho machine.
It seems to me that the above view is a correct inter¬
pretation of the contract. -If you differ from me, will you kindly
let me know?

REPORT
OP THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31st DECEMBER, 1883,
TO BE PRESENTED AT TUK
FOURTH ^RDINARY ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE COMPANY,
CITY TERMINUS HOTEL, CANNON STREET,
Chi Wednesday, the 80th day of APRIL, 1884, at Twelve o’clock noon.
The Directors herewith submit to the Shareholders the Balance Sheet and Profit and
Loss Account for the year ending 31st December, 1883.
The Company has now in operation, or is, through affiliated Companies, interested
in Telephone Exchanges and private line business, in tho towns of Alexandria, Cairo, Suez,
Calcutta, Madras, Uombay, Kurraoliee, Rangoon, Colombo, Singapore, Hong Kong,
Shanghai, anU Port Louis, Mauritius.
The shares in the Hawaiian Bell Telephone Company were sold in November, 1883.
The Company is therefore no longer interested in business in the Hawaiian Islands.
At the date of last report the total number of Exchange and Private Line
subscribers using the Company's Wires, including those in Hawaiian Islands (numbering
272Ji%n,8fin all 1,098.
. According to latest advices from the various stations, the total number now stands
at 1,279, notwithstanding the withdrawals in the Sandwich Islands, so there has been a
large increase in subscribers during the year, equal to about 55 per eont. Tho Revenue from
actual working of Exchanges, credited to the year 1883 has not, however, proportionately
increased, because it has been requisite at various stations, by the advice of the local
Agents of the Company, to reduce the tariff in the hope of better ultimate results. This is
further,explained by the sale of the Calcutta Exchange, and by the fact, that a considerable
increase in subscribers took place towards the end of 1883, necessitating the transfer of an
important proportion of the receipts to 1884. In 1884, therefore, the Revenue promises
to be materially larger.
The business of the Telephono Company of Egypt, Limited, has made important
progress during the year, and your Directors regard the shares which are held in that
Company, as a very valuable asset.
2
The International Indemnity Commission, which lias recently completed its sitting
in Alexandria, has made an award of 200,000 francs on account of the losses sustained during
the riots in Alexandria in the year 1882. This award is made to the Oriental Company.
■ Whilst in India there has been some progress, the development of the Exchanges
there has been slower than it should have been. The causes which impedod the Company’s
operations there, having been in great part removed, it is perhaps undesirable to more par¬
ticularly allude to them. A consequence has been that the Company has had to-ineet a
deficiency for the year, upon the Preferred Shares of the Bombay Company, to the extent
of US,339 19s. Id., which has been wholly debited to the Profit and Loss Account of this year,
leaving intact the sum of .£7,000 originally set aside for such a possible contingency. The
smn of .£8,426 Os. 5d., being the suspense profit from the sale of the Bengal business, it
is proposed to carry forward, pending further development in India. .
The Directors have, from the Suspense Profit Account resulting from tire conversion
of the Egyptian business, transferred the sum of £10,000 to the credit of Profit aiS- Loss
Account for the year 1883, and this latter account will then show a credit balance of
£5,670 Us. 8d. ..
The Directors recommend a distribution at the rate of Five per cent, per annum, free
of income tax, for the year 1883, on the Ordinary Shares of the Company. This will
absorb the sum of £5,649 10s., and leave a balance of £27 Is. 8d. to be carried forward
to Profit and Loss Account for 1884.
As regards the Deferred Shares in the various affiliated Companies, allotted to this
Company, as shown in the accounts, your Directors recommend, under tho advice of the
Auditors, that these be held against the cost of Telephone Patents paid for, partly in cash,
and partly in Deferred Shares. '
In terms of Article 65 of the Articles of Association, ;one third of the Directors or
the nearest number thereto retire at this General Meeting. Mr. John Pender, M.P., the
Chairman of the Company ; Sir Alexander Armstrong, E.C.B., &c. and Mr. James Pender
are tho Directors ballotted out. These gentlemen are eligible for re-election by the Share¬
holders. Mr. John Pender and Mr. James Pender do not offer themselves for re-election.
Sir Alexander Armstrong offers himself for re-election.
Messrs. Deloitte, Dever, Griffiths & Co., the Auditors of the Company, retire,
but offer themselves for re-election.
Should you be unable to attend the meeting, a form of Proxy is enclosed for your
signature, which, to be of use, should be returned to the Secretary, so as to reacli him not
later than the morning of the 28th instant.
JOHN PENDEB,
Chairman.

Works, relating to some carbon powder which they ordered from you
and received from Bergraann. It differs from any we have had @nd
is not Worth a d—n.
Our principal extra-territorial circuits of 100 fio
125 miles in length include 16,000 feet of submah^ie cable, and
the Edison transmitter is the only one we have found that will
work then!’: therefore, for the credit of your instrument, and as
a personal accommodation, I beg you will interest yourself with
Bergmann to furnish the Electrical Works with the most superior
cafibon for our use*
There is no fault with the moulding of the buttons
here: they have always been perfect heretofore. They have to be
made here as they will not stand transportation.
I have Just closed a contract for three, 300 light
dynamos, in competition with the Sperry fio, and others.
The Sperry Co. is very pertinacious here - can you give me any
points against their alleged incandescent system?

Mr.Paul Seller,
Superintendent,
Dear sir:
The last lot or carbon buttons, furnished us for
Edison transmitters, is absolutely worthless. We cannot talk with
them at all. Those which you have furnished heretofore were
greyish-black and evidently of a different character.
We are using the Edison transmitter exclusively in
our Exchange offices and for all extra-territorial work, and it is
of the utmost importance that we should have the very best buttons
that can be made: otherwise we shall be forced back to the use
of Rlake transmitters which are not nearly the equal of the
Edison for long distances,
Very truly yours,

Tlio Directors are aware tlint some of tho Shareholders arc being solicited to support a
movement for an Extraordinary Mooting of tho Company, having for its ostensible objoet the
appointment of a Committee of Investigation nnd a change in tho Directorate. Tho letters which
tho DircetorB have soon contain important inis-stotoments, aud nro calculated at once to prejudice
ami to.alarm tho Shareholders.
The Directors have reason to boliove that the agitation is wholly actuated by foolings of
animosity towards somo of tho Momhers of the Board. Tho Directors, therefore, feol thnt they nro
justified in requesting the Shareholders to withhold any promises of adhesion to any agitation, until
they have at least had an opportunity of lioariug both sides of any question that has been or may be
raised.
Tho Directors are ready to meet the Shareholders wlicnevor occasion arises. Monnwhilc
they nro prepared to giro ovory Shareholder the fullest information they themselves possess, with
perfectly free access to the records of the Company.
The Itovonnes of the Company, and of its affiliated Companies, have materially improved
since tho last Report, whilst the expenses linvo been considerably diminished.
Tho Shareholders are enutioned against blindly sacrificing their property..

BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
Colonki. a. E. GOURAUD, Chairman. I *T. A. EDISON, Esq.
*P. CARNEGY, Esq., C.I.E., Deputy-Chairman. 'Honoiuiii.e G. G. HUBBARD.
J. P. BIGELOW, Esq. I JAMES PENDER, Esq.
Sin WILLLYM THOMSON, LL.D., F.R.S., M.I.C.E.
Consulting Electrician and Ex-OfJIdo Member of the Board.
* These Gentlemen are nt present abroad.
As anticipated in the circular of 4th instant, the Directors have since
received a requisition to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting of the
Company, which, as required by the Articles of Association, they havo accordingly
done in the terms of the notice on the back hereof.
The Directors cannot too strongly deprecate this covert attnek upon the
credit of the Company and upon themselves.
The Board have no hesitation in boldly impeaching the worthiness of the
motives of the real instigators of this agitation. More than one of their number
has been outspoken in his admissions of personal animus. Amongst the
requisitionists there are some who have for many months past had perfect
freedom of access to every record of the Company from its formation. They
have consequently been in a position frankly to prefer their charges, if there
were any grounds of accusation, and without the necessity of resorting to the
moans which have been adopted.
There are no grounds for charges. Neithor is there occasion for any Com¬
mittee of Investigation. The Board have already voluntarily placed.at the
disposal of the Shareholders all the records of the Company in such a manner
that every information that a Committee could possibly obtnin is open to each
and every member of the Company. Several Shareholders have taken advantage
of this offer, and havo expressed their intention of supporting the Board.
.The Board havo resolved to oppose'both of 'tho Resolutions of the
Requisitionists, and they will accordingly move tlie following amendment, and for
the following reasons briefly stated:—
As an Amendment to the first Resolution:—
Having hoard the remarks of tho Chairman on bohalf of tho Board, and having
considered tho printod statomont of tho Board, together with tho Roport of tho
Auditors appointed by tho Shareholders, showing tho progress of . tho Company
sinco tho last Gonoral Meoting and its present position, this Mooting is of tho
, opinion that tho appointment of any Coinmittoo of Investigation is unnecessary,
ill-advised, and would ho prejudicial to tho host interests of tho Proprietors.
( 2 )
The .grounds on which they will oppose the first resolution are these:
lut. Tho Board boliove that tho appointment of a Committee of investigation undot
tho oiroumstanoee, would seriously affect the position and credit of tko Company,
endangering dolicato negotiations at present pending, and very probably necessitating
an Call upon tho unpaid Capital, which might othorwiso have boen avoided.
2nd. Liko other couoems, this Company is not without its rivals, and dis-union amongst
, . oursolveBiB merely playing into, then- hands. There aro. already signs of satisfaction
‘ in moro than' ono quarter .at tho prospeot of this dis-union, than which nothing
could better suit tho purposes of several personB.
The Board will oppose the second resolution on the following grounds:—
1st. Tho obviouB design of adding largely to the numbor of Directors, is to swamp tho
prosent Board by adding to it a majority, ignorant of tho business of tho Company,
and lioBtilo to the present mombors.
2nd. At tho Inst Annual General Meeting, tho Shareholders unanimously approved of
tho policy of a smaller board, in consequence of whioli, throe Directors then
retiring wero not re-elected. 'This subject would naturally bo considered at tho
noxt Ordinary General Mooting of tho Company, when the Board would of course
defer to tho wishes of tho Shareholders, should thoy then desire to make suitable
additions to tho Dirootoroto. In this connexion it should bo Btatod that notwith¬
standing that tho Articles of Association provide £2,600 por annum, os tho
Directors’ remuneration (on amount however which lias never boon drawn), tho
presont Board havo drawn only at tho rate of £626 a yoar from this Company,
£126 from the Egyptian Company and nothing from tbo Chino and Japan
"" Company.
8rd. Tho present Directors aro familiar with every dotoil of tho Company’s business
since its formation ; they have a very largo stake in tho Company themselves, and
many of their friends are deoply interested.
The Board have no interests other than those common to every Share¬
holder ; they have laboured zealously to promote the welfare of the undertaking:
they have had and still have, many difficulties to contend with. The fields of
operation have been distnnt and it hns consequently not always been possible to
exercise control so fully as could have been desired. Considering however, all the
circumstances, the amount of capital originally called up, and the fact that no
call has since been made, the Board feel justified in saying that the results have
on the whole been far from discreditable.
For the further satisfaction of the Shareholders the Board submits a
Beport by the Auditors, appointed by the Shareholders at tho last meeting, which
shows the present position and progress of the Company- since last General
Meeting. This Koport speaks for itself.
It is only necessary further to allude, and that briefly, to tho alarming
reports to which so much currency has been given ns to tho “ impending call
of 10s. per share ” with which “ to pay off the debts contracted by
the Board, owing to "their having spent all the .money hitherto
called up.”
• The simple facts are, that after having established a business, showing a
gross revenue of upwards of £22,000 per annum there still remains, amongst
other assets, the sum of 1)8,000 due by tho Egyptian Government under the
( 3 )
Indemnity Awards. But for the delay in the payment of this sum there would
be no indebtedness whatever, but on the contrary, a substantial surplus in hand.
The “ alarming debt ” incurred by the Board, is to its bankers, and amounts to
exactly £3,600. A further sum of £1,600 has been provisionally arranged for in
case of delay in realizing other assets. As to the “ imminence of a 10/ call,”
should the assets referred to not be realized before the Bankers required repay¬
ment of the loan, and should no arrangement other than a call be found practicable,
then a call of only One Shilling per share would more than meet all requirements, and
leave a surplus of several thousand pounds.
Since the last meeting the Board have pursued the policy of confining
the operations of the Company to the places where the business had already been
established.
In conclusion, the Board rely upon the support of every non-partisan
Shareholder who considers only his interests as such.
Should it be found, however, that a majority of the Proprietors are
prepared to givo their support to either of the Resolutions of the Requisitionists the
Board think it only fair to say at once, that after mature consideration, they feel
under such circumstances, they could not longer consent to share in the
responsibility of. the Direction, and they have therefore resolved, in that event,
to forthwith vacate their seats.
With respect to the Resolution which the Board will propose, reducing
the Directors’ remuneration, as at present allowed by the Articles of Association,
it is only necessary to say that as it involves an alteration of. thie Articles of
Association, a majority of three-fourths of the Shareholders present in person or by
proxy, is required to carry it. It is earnestly hoped that it will be convenient for
you to attend the meeting in person, but should this be impossible, and to
provide lor your accidental absence, you are requested to fill in, sign and
return the enclosed Form of Proxy, which to be of use, should reach the
office not later than the morning of the 20th December, 1884.
By Order of the Board,

I :• •' ", !
• Gentlemen,
In accordance with your instructions, conveyed in the Secretary's
letter to us of the 14 th instant, we have now to submit to you the result of the
examination wo have made into the Books and Accounts of your Company since
the beginning of the current year.
The particulars we are in a position to lay before you must not be accepted
as showing the exact condition of the Company’s affairs at the present date, but
they do so, as nearly as is possible under the circumstances. The distance of tlie
various Branches from the London Office interferes somewhat with the regularity
of the receipt of the monthly returns; and the statements to hand are, to some
extent, approximate only, ns they are subject to the corrections which may result
from the final stock-takings and valuations at tho end of the year. The following
details have been extracted from the Books and Official Returns, with the
assistance of all the available information in the Loudon Books.
The Company has Branches in five important centres where Exchanges have
been for some time in continuous operation. Against each we have recorded
below, the dates up to which the Returns of Business doing have been submitted
to us:—
RANGOON, . August 81st, 1884.
COLOMBO, . September 30th, 1884.
SINGAPORE. August 81st, 1884. j
MADRAS. September 80th, 1884. !
MAURITIUS. Juno 80tli, 1884.
On 81st December, 1883, tho total amount of capital invested at these
Branches was .£22,339; which, from the returns above mentioned, we find to
have been increased to £28,706.' The greater portion of this increase is on
account of Mauritius, an entirely new Branch. The number of Subscribers to
Exchanges—the results of which were included in the Profit and Loss Account
of last year—was, at tho end of last year, 282, and, according to the returns, this
number has been increased to 344. The gross income receivable from 344
subscribers for a complete year would show an increase of .£1,504 over that
receivable from 232.
The working expenses of the Branches for the current year—calculated on
the basis of the returns received—show an increase at the rate of £1,095 per
annum, of which £660 is ; at Mauritius; but, while on the one hand we are
informed that some portion of tho outlay at present charged against working will
probably, when the Accounts to the end of tho year are prepared, be found to
have been incurred in respect of the construction of the Exchanges; we think it
likely that the expenses may have to be increased by items omitted from the
returns, or by charges which only recur at long intervals and have not been
provided for in the monthly Statements forwarded to England. On the whole, it
appears that so far as information has reached London, there is an improvement
in the position of the Company’s Exchanges abroad.
In other places the Company has expended about £430; but we are informed
that it ; is probable the outlay will be at least recouped by business undertaken.
. According to the Audited Accounts of The 1 Bombay Telephone Com¬
pany, Limited, prepared to 80th June','1884, the earnings of the Company
have been baroly sufficient to pay the expenses of'inanagbmonf; and the Oriental
Company has boon charged with the following amounts in respect of Guaranteed
Interest after deducting the Dividend receivable On' it's OWri shares:—
For about 10 months to June 30th, 1883. £2,878
Foryoarto June 30th, 1884 . 3,016
of this, the first item was provided for in the Profit and Loss Account of last year.
The Company’s Guarantee in respect of this Company expires on the 7th of
September, 1887.
The Oriental Company is to be recouped any payments it may have made
under tho Guarantee out of any net profits, in excess of the Guarantee, which
may be earned during the time of its continuence, and before the “B ” Shares
rank for Dividend. The Vendors-’ (“B") Shares will be entitled to receive any
surplus profits up to 8 per cent, on their nominal value.
From the Statements we have seen, the business done by the Bombay
Company since Juno 30th, 1884, is steadily increasing; and, apparently, the
working expenses are boing roduced.
We are informed that an Exchange is being constructed for a native State,
which is expected to improve the results for the current year.
The ^Bengal Telephone Company, Limited, was formed under very'
similar circumstances to tho Bombay Company. In this case, the full Guarantee
has been required in respect of the period to 31st December, 1883; and the
sum of £1,076 18s. Id. has been paid by the Oriental Company in the course
of this year. The net liability under this Guarantee is £1,794 per annum, which
is subject to almost the same conditions as that given to the Bombay Company,
except that a Deserve Fund of not more than £791 18s. 4d. per annum may be
deducted for investment before profits are dealt with. The liability under the
Guarantee ceases on tho 13th of March, 1888.
A reduction in the rate of subscription at tho commencement of the year,
at first naturally reduced the Income of this Company; but, at the present time,
the total yearly subscriptions receivable, are larger than those at the end of last
year; at tho same time the expenses are practically the same.
The Telephone Company of Egypt, Limited, nearly the whole
Capital of which belongs to the Oriental Telephone Company, has increased its
number'of Subscribers from—457 at the end of last year, to—531, according to
the latest Returns; with an increased annual rental of £483.
The expenses in London have been reduced; but we are not able to report
definitely upon the expenses in Egypt, much of the outlay being distributable
between Capital and Revenue; before taking this distribution into account, it
appears that the expenses chargeable against Revenue have increased.
In 1888 a dividend of 2} % was paid on the Preference Shares in respect of
the profits of that year. The Profits this year show a considerable improvement
over those of 1888.
_ rv , 'JFliO; -accounts- jof .th^,, China,'.and Japan Telephone , Company,
Limit ed, to 31st December., 18g3j ware lomwleted in the course of t]io month
<jf Juno, 1884,. and exhibit a lo.ss.of 04Q5. 2 b. Id., nothing having been charged
ipr .Directors’ fees' or London- 1 Office expenses. . Sufficiently complete returns from
this Company , have not reached us to enable us; to report on the revenue and
expenses of this year.
During the current year the Oriental Company has expended 11792 2s. 9d. in
India in respect of their agencies thero, other than the exchanges actually in
operation. It is not expected that this item will continue at the same rate to the
end of the year.
With regard to the General Expenses of the Oriental Company in London,
•we find that these have been reduced in the present year by over 4:1,090, the
reduction beiug mainly in Directors’ Pees. An arraugoment has also been made
by which another Company will contribute a small amount in reduction of the
charges, in consideration of its London Office being managed by the Oriental
Company at no additional expense.
Deferring to other Assets and Liabilities of the Company, we find it im¬
possible, until the accounts of all the Branches are closed to a date corresponding
with the date to which the accounts in Loudon are made up, to arrive at the true
condition of affairs, or to state what are the actual variations in the Company’s
position.
As previously stated it appears that about .06,000 has, since the beginning
of the year, been added to the cost of the Exchanges; this includes the expendi¬
ture of a large portion of the stores on hand on January 1st, 1884.
03,829 40s. lOd. lias been paid since tlie beginning of -the year on account
of Guarantees to Subsidiary Companies, which will be chargeable against the
profits reserved in respect of them in the previous year, viz., the Deserve Fimd
of 07,000, and the Suspense Profit of £8,426 0s. od. on the sale of the Bengal
Company.
The Liabilities of the Company on current account have been, in the
aggregate, reduced by about 02,700. Included in the Liabilities is an amount
of 08,500, due to the Company’s Bankers, part of a provisional loan secured on
a Mortgage Debenture for £10,000, and an undertaking, if necessary, to make a
call to repay the amount.
The India Government paper on hand at 31st December, 1883, valued at
014,418 ,6s. 4d. has been almost entirely realised; 05,649 10s. Od. having
been absorbed by the last Dividend paid.
The cash balances show a reduction of 0396 16s. 5d., and tlie amounts due
to the Company have been similarly reduced by 0496 6s. 5d.
The suit instituted by the Company’s late agent in India is still unsettled,
and we understand that another disputed claim is also in abeyance. We find
that some proceedings ore also pending in Australia, but we understand that
they are not likely to be of a serious character.
In completing our Deport we have pleasure in stating that we have been
allowed full access to all the records of the Company.
We are, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servants,

As of special interest in this connection, I beg to submit, for

and that Mr.Williams has sent his proxy to Mr.Prancis Blake. I
think Mr.Pender statements must have been misleading, so that if

of the fl thVirf'ilt.dnt ((.treating with the matter of tho Oriental tel¬

to 3ond ns his proxy. There is however such a concourse of ad¬
hesions to our movement that I do not think we shall require it;
but I hopo he will remain neutral and hearing that Rol.Gonraud and
Mr.Ponder had written and telegraphed to Mr r Hubbard to obtain his
proxies, I telegraphed t.o you yesterday ns follows:
"Tell Edison that Gouraud’s, Pender's communications
"misleading; telegraph what line Edison takes."
and am awaiting your reply.
Messrs.Pender and Gonraud make put, that our movement is
inspired by personal feeling which is, of course, not tho case,
and I cannot help thinking that they know it very well. Tf our
investigations show that Col.Gonraud has woll managed tho affairs
of tho Company, \vo do not want to turn him - out, but, ho now prac -
tieally controls the company and wo must in any caso have a cer¬
tain number of additional Directors. /
I sond you herewith a copy of the Report submitted at the

of tho then Directors, 1 have marked their present position - you

At the last General Mooting in April, a committee of consul¬

(2) Hr,St.John Ackers who holds 2f>000 Shares (iO^p.niri)
Mr.Hy.Growing, partner of s. Opponheim $• Sons.
Those gentlemen soon found, that they could bo of very'little use
arid the movement now on foot was in a groat measure instigotod by
'ir.Ackers and Mr.Growing, pushed thereto by other large Sharehold¬
ers. Mr.John Ponder, first,, was in perfect agreement '.with
'.ir.Ackers and M»% Graving, but subsequently was for milder measures
and now seems to side in a way with Col*Gourand, assorting that
our movement, tonds to bring the Company into discredit Sc. Mr..
Pondor v/as Chairman of tho Company, ho is concerned in so many
Companies of all kinds that it is impossible to fathom his motives
and tho othor parties would not be stoppod by him,
It is in no way tho intention of the promoters of this move¬
ment to do anything operating to the detriment of the holders of
"It" Shares, nor to attack the arrangements made with the sellers
of tho patents. Those who have come honestly to their holdings
have nothing to fear and every thing to gain from this movoment -

Dear sir:-
I bag to submit herewith, f or your examiWtKM) and
^ s. /t 11 S t. m*-/
return-a-t- cenro n i en ce, a copy of the circular issued by ThMM
Lloyd, representing the Shareholders of the Oriental Telephone Co*
who desire a change in the management. '
Yours very truly,’
©mntal W,dzp\jmz (Kmnpftnji, ptttiteit.
Sir,
A large number of Shareholders of the above Company, owners of Shares on which
there is still a liability of 10 /- per Share, have, in . accord with me, sent a requisition to the
Directors, calling upon them to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company;
this step has been taken for the purpose of proposing the appointment of a Committee to inquire
into the affairs of the Company, and of making certain changes in the Directorate.
The reasons which have chiefly determined our action in this matter are the following
The Shareholders' of the Consolidated Telephone Construction and Maintenance Company,
last May, appointed a Committee of investigation, from whose report it would appear that the
Directors had so mismanaged the business of the Company that it was in grave danger of being
wound-up with the loss of nearly the whole of its’Capital; so much so that the price of the
Shares had fallen from £2 10 / and upwards, to two or three shillings.
Among the gentlemen affected by this report were—
Colonel GOURAUD, the present Chairman of the Oriental Telephone Company;
P. CARNEGY, Esq., one of the present Directors of the Oriental Telephone Company;
J. P. BIGELOW, Esq., also one of the present Directors of the Oriental Telephone Company.
The two former, in consequence, resigned their seats at the Boards of the Consolidated
Telephone Company, the River Plate Telephone Company, and the Telephone Company
of Austria, Mr. Bigelow had already withdrawn from the Consolidated in February last;
The Committee has since continued, its investigations, and your attention is invited
to its forthcoming supplementary report.
With such disclosures before us, common prudence enjoins upon us to inquire whether
our affairs are being better managed than those of the Consolidated Telephone Company. .
We know that, as in the case of that Company, the.Shares of the Oriental Telephone
Company are greatly depreciated, and as the paid-up Capital is spent and the Company is
in debt, we have reason to fear that a call of fresh capital is inevitable. The amount of the
call appears to depend upon the result of our present action. The dividends guaranteed by the
Oriental Company on the “A” shares of-the Bengal and Bombay Companies alone amount to
upwards of ^ 6,000 per annum, whilst as regards other subsidiary Companies, it seems likely that
their earnings will for the present no more than pay their expenses.
The question is the more urgent because the holding of the two Directors, who sold the
patents to the Company, and who now practically, control its affairs, viz., Colonel Gouraud and
Mr. Bigelow, is in fully paid-up vendors’ Shares. They therefore will not be affected by a call; on
the contrary, their shares, like the remaining fully paid up shares, will enjoy an advantage over the
ordinary shares, if, by allowing the affairs of the Oriental Company to drift, a liquidation should
become necessary.
[ENCLOSURE]
On these grounds I venture to ask you to attend the forthcoming meeting and support
our motion for investigation and reorganisation of the Board ; or, if it is not convenient
for you to attend, to entrust me with your proxy, .of which I . enclose a form, which please sign
and return to me. •
A copy of the requisition sent to the.Directors on the 12 th instant is annexed; the
signatures represent 54,106 Shares,, although 30,000 only are required by the Articles of
Association. The total assents received up to that time by me arid the friends with whom
I am acting exceed 100,000 Shares. -
